A fisherman believed to have abandoned his grounded boat at San
Francisco's Ocean Beach early Monday has an outstanding warrant out of Santa
Clara County, a sheriff's spokesman said today.

Timothy Lybrand was on board a 37-foot fishing boat named "Paloma"
that ran aground near Seal Rock in San Francisco around 3:30 a.m. Monday,
according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Coast Guard and San Francisco fire crews searched for Lybrand in
an 18-square-mile area after he had contacted a Good Samaritan and said he
intended to swim to shore, Coast Guard Lt. Theo Vaughan said.

Crews suspended their search for him around noon Monday and he has
not been found as of this afternoon.

Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Kurtis Stenderup said today that
Lybrand has a warrant from May 2012 for a 2010 drug possession arrest for
which he failed to appear in court.
